Remember when @ElonMusk wanted to bring free speech to Twitter and then S&P removed Tesla from their ESG 500 index, but kept in Exxon? . ESG is business social credit. It's a means to control capital, keep business people in line with the narrative, and, ultimately, control you.

You buy a house for $300,000. 20 years later, govt says "Zillow values this house at $1,000,000-pay us tax on your $700,000 unrealized gain". Slow thinkers like you are paving the way for the middle class to have all their wealth stolen; the govt won't stop at "billionaires".
@caroljsroth It should be allowed. It should be normalized. It’s ok for my own meager unrealized gains to be taxed too. Society exists.

Yellen referred to unrealized capital gains as “income”. She led the charge for a global tax cartel. At the Fed, she oversaw a huge transfer of wealth from Main St to Wall St. She didn’t see inflation coming or even have it on her Bingo card. And she’s Treasury Secretary.

Hey, Karen, thanks for giving me an excuse to remind everyone that the top 1% of earners pay nearly 46% of income taxes paid and the top 10% pay nearly 76%. The bottom 50% pay less than 3%. But so close…
